discipline.     An  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer  before  leaving  his  com- 
mand will  notify  the  next  in  rank,  who  will  immediately  assume  the  du- 
ties of  his  senior.      There  must  be  present  at  all  times  with  a  regiment  or

ness. 

2.  Captains  will  divide  their  companies  into  squads,  and  assign  to  each

violation  of  orders  he  will  promptly  report  to  the  Orderly  Sergeant.     At 
tattoo  and  reveille  all  the  commissioned  officers  of  a  company,  unless  on 
guard  or  detached  duty,  will  report  in  person  to  its  commanding  officer, 
who  will  himself  attend  the  company  roll  call,  and  immediately  report 
absentees  to  the  Adjutant  at  head-quarters.     After  taps,  the  Captain  or 
officer  in  charge  of  a  company,  will  remain  on  the  company  parade 
ground,  and  see  that  the  lights  are  extinguished,  silence  and  order  ob-

as  soon  as  the  reports  of  company  roll  calls  are  all  received,  the  Adjutant 
will  report  to  the  Colonel,  and  then  to  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General, 
at  general  head-quarters.     It  is  the  duty  of  an  Adjutant  to  see  that  the

alacrity  and  good  faith  the  lawful  orders  of  the  superiors  appointed  over 
them. 

2.  It  is  enjoined  upon  all  officers  to  be  cautious  in  reproving  non-com-

ity be  weakened  ;  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  not  to  be  sent  to  the 
guard  room  and  mixed  with  privates  during  confinement,  but  to  be  con-

be  apprehended. 

3.  The  Captain  will  cause  the  men  of  the  company  to  be  numbered,  in

officer. 

4.  Each  subaltern  officer  will  be  charged  with  a  squad  for  the  supervi- 
sion of  its  order  and  cleanliness ;  and  Captains  will  require  their  Lieu- 
tenants to  assist  them  in  the  performance  of  all  company  duties. 

5.  The  utmost  attention  will  be  paid  by  commanders  of  companies  to 
the  cleanliness  of  their  men,  as  to  their  persons,  clothing,  arms,  accou- 
trements, and  equipments,  and  also  as  to  .their  quarters  or  tents. 

6.  Commanders  of  companies  and  squads  will  see  that  the  arms  and 
accoutrements  in  possession  of  the  men  are  always  kept  in  good  order, 
and  that  proper  care  be  taken  in  cleaning  them. 

7.  All  arms  in  the  hands  of  the  troops,  whether  browned  or  bright,

operations,  a  rod  of  wood  with  a  loop  in  one  end  is  to  used  instead  of  a 
rammer.  The  barrel,  when  not  in  use,  will  be  closed  with  a  stopper.

mixed  with  the  blank  cartridges  issued  to  the  men. 

10.  No  persons  will  be  allowed  to  visit  or  remain  in  the  kitchens,  ex- 
cept such  as  may  come  on  duty  or  be  occupied  as  cooks.

etc. 

12.  Immediately  after  reveille  roll  call  (after  stable  duty  in  the  cavalry) 
the  tents  or  quarters,  and  the  space  around  them,  will  be  put  in  order  by 
the  men  of  the  companies,  superintended  by  the  chiefs  of  the  squads,  and 
the  guard  house  or  guard  tent  by  the  guard  or  prisoners. 

13.  The  colors  of  a  regiment  passing  a  guard  are  to  be  saluted,  the 
trumpets  sounding,  and  the  drums  beating  a  march. 

14.  When  general  officers,  or  persons  entitled  to  a  salute,  pass  in  the 
rear  of  a  guard,  the  officer  is  only  to  make  his  men  stand  shouldered, 
and  not  to  face  his  guard  about,  or  beat  his  drum. 

15.  When  general  officers,  or  persons  entitled  to  a  salute,  pass  guards 
while  in  the  act  of  relieving,  both  guards  are  to  salute,  receiving  the 
word  of  command  from  the  senior  officer  of  the  whole. 

16.  All  guards  are  to  be  under  arms  when  armed  parties  approach  their

all  times,  and  in  all  situations,  to  pay  the  proper  compliments  to  officers  of 
the  navy  and  marines,  and  to  officers  of  other  regiments,  when  in  uni- 
form, as  to  officers  of  their  own  particular  regiments  and  corps. 

19.  Courtesy  among  military  men  is  indispensable  to  discipline.     Re- 
spect to  superiors  will  not  be  confined  to  obedience  on  duty,  but  will  be 
extended  to  all  occasions.     It  is  always  the  duty  of  the  inferior  to  accost 
or  to  offer  first  the  customary  salutation,  and  of  the  superior  to  return 
such  complimentary  notice. 

20.  Sergeants,  with  swords  drawn,  will  salute  by  bringing  them  to  a 
present;  with  muskets,  by  bringing  the  left  hand  across  the  body,  so  as 
to  strike  the  musket  near  the  right  shoulder.     Corporals  out  of  the  ranks,

GUARD  MOUNTING. 


and  privates  not  sentries,  will  carry  their  muskets  at  a  shoulder,  as  ser- 
geants, and  salute  in  like  manner. 

21.  When  a  soldier  without  arms,  or  with  side  arms  only,  meets  an 
officer,  he  is  to  raise  his  hand  to  the  right  side  of  the  visor  of  his  cap, 
palm  to  the  front,  elbow  raised  as  high  as  the  shoulder,  looking  at  the 
same  time  in  a  respectful  and  soldier-like  manner  at  the  officer,  who  .will 
return  the  compliment  thus  offered. 

22.  A  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  being  seated,  and  without 
particular  occupation,  will  rise  on  the  approach  of  an  officer,  and  make 
the  customary  salutation.     If  standing,  he  will  turn  toward  the  officer 
for  the  same  purpose.     If  the  parties  remain  in  the  same  place,  or  on" 
the  same  ground,  such  compliments  need  not  be  repeated. 

GUARD    MOUNTING. 

1.  At  the  first  call  for  guard-mounting,  the  men  warned  for  duty  turn 
out  on  their  company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Sergeants;  and 
at  the  second  call,  repair  to  the  regimental  or  garrison  parade,  conducted 
by  the  First  Sergeants.     Each  detachment,  as  it  arrives,  will,  under  the 
direction  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  on  the  left  of  the  one  that  preceded 
it,  in  open  order,  arms  shouldered,  and  bayonets  fixed ;  the  supernume- 
raries five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their  respective  companies ;  the 
First  Sergeants  in   rear  of  them.     The  Sergeant-Major  will  dress  the 
ranks,  count  the  files,  verify  the  details,  and  when  the  guard  is  formed, 
report  to  the  Adjutant,  and  take  post  two  paces  on  the  left  of  the  front 
rank. 

2.  The  Adjutant  then  commands  Front,  when  the  officer  of  the  guard 
takes  post  twelve  paces  in  front  of  the  centre,  the  Sergeants  in  one  rank, 
four  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  officers;  and  the  Corporals  in  one  rank,  four 
paces  in  the  rear  of  the  Sergeants — all  facing  to  the  front.    The  Adjutant 
then  assigns  their  places  in  the  guard.  -  %  . 

3.  The  Adjutant  will  then  command, 

1.    Officer  and  non-commissioned  officers.     2.  ABOUT — FACE. 
3.  Inspect  your  guards — MARCH  ! 

The  non-commissioned  officers  then  take  their  posts.  The  commander 
of  the  guard  then  commands, 

1.   Order — ARMS.     2.  Inspection — ARMS. 

and  inspects  his  guard.  When  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  on  the 
guard,  the  Adjutant  will  inspect  it.  During  inspection  the  band  will 
play. 

4.  The  inspection  ended,  the  officer  of  the  guard  takes  post  as  though

the  guard  were  a  company  of  a  battalion,  in  open  order,  under  review  ; 
at  the  same  time,  also,  the  officers  of  the  day  will  take  post  in  front  of 
the  centre  of  the  guard ;  the  old  officer  of  the  day  three  paces  on  the 
right  of  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  one  pace  retired. 

5.  The  Adjutant  will  now  command, 

1.  Parade— BEST  !     2.   Troop — Beat  off! 

when  the  music,  beginning  on  the  right,  will  beat  down  the  line  in  front 
of  the  officer  of  the  guard  to  the  left,  and  back  to  its  place  on  the  right 
-where  it  will  cease  to  play. 

6.  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

1.  Attention  !    2.  Shoulder — ARMS  !     3.   Close  order— MARCH  ! 

At  the  word  "  close  order,"  the  officer  will  face  about ;  at  "  march,"  resume 
his  post  in  line.  The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

Present — ARMS  ! 

At  which  he  will  face  to  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  salute,  and  report, 
"  Sir,  the  guard  is  formed"  The  new  officer  of  the  day,  after  acknowl- 
edging the  salute,  will  direct  the  Adjutant  to  march  the  guard  in  review, 
or  by  flank  to  its  post.  But  if  the  Adjutant  be  senior  to  the  officer  of 
the  day,  he  will  report  without  saluting  with  the  sword  then,  or  when 
marching  the  guard  in  review. 

7.  In  review,  the  guard  march  past  the  officer  of  the  day,  according  to 
the  order  of  review,  conducted  by  the  Adjutant,  marching  on  the  left  of 
the  first  division;  the  Sergeant-Major  on  the  left  of  the  last  division. 

8.  When  the  column  has  passed  the  officer  of  the  day,  the  officer  of  the 
guard  marches  it  to  its  post,  the  Adjutant  and  Sergeant-Major  retiring. 
The  music,  which  has  wheeled  out  of  the  column,  and  taken  post  opposite 
the  officer  of  the  day,  will  cease,  and  the  old  officer  of  the  day  salute,  and 
give  the  old  or  standing  orders  to  the  new  officer  of  the  day,  the  super- 
numeraries, at  the  same  time,  will  be  marched  by  the  First  Sergeants  to 
their  respective  company  parades,  and  dismissed. 

9.  In  bad  weather,  or  at  night,  or  after  fatiguing  marches,  the  cere- 
mony of  turning  off  may  be  dispensed  with,  but  not  the  inspection. 

10.  Grand  guards,  and  other  brigade  guards,  are  organized  and  mounted 
on  the  brigade  parade  by  the  staff  officer  of  the  parade,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  according  to  the  prin- 
ciples here  prescribed  for  the  police  guard  of  a  regiment.     The  detail  of 
each  regiment  is  assembled  on  the  regimental  parade,  verified  by  the 
Adjutant,  and  marched  to  the  brigade  parad«  by  the  senior  officer  of  the

detail.     After  inspection  and  review,  the  officer  of  the  day  directs  the 
several  guards  to  their  respective  posts. 

11.  The  officer  of  the  old  guard,  having  his  guard  paraded,  on  the  ap- 
proach of  the  new  guard,  commands, 

Present — ARMS  ! 

12.  The  new  guard  will  march,  in  quick  time,  past  the  old  guard,  at 
shouldered  arms,  officers  saluting,  and  take  post  four  paces  on  its  right, 
where,  being  aligned  with  it,  its  commander  will  order, 

Present— ARMS  ! 

The  two  officers  will  then  approach  each  other,  and  salute.     They  will 
then  return  to  their  respective  guards,  and  command, 

1.  Shoulder— ARMS.     2.   Order— ARMS  ! 

13.  The  officer  of  the  new  guard  will  now  direct  the  detail  for  the

and  will  himself  proceed  to  take  possession  of  the  guard-house  or  guard- 
tent,  and  the  articles  and  prisoners  in  charge  of  the  guard. 

14.  During  the  .time  of  relieving  the  sentinels  and  of  calling  in  the 
small  posts,  the  old  commander  will  give  to  the  new  all  the  information 
and  instructions  relating  to  his  post. 

15.  The  first  relief  having  been  designated  and  ordered  two  paces  to 
the  front,  the  Corporal  of  the  new  guard  will  take  charge  of  it,  and  go 
to  relieve  the  sentinels,  accompanied  by  the  Corporal  of  the  old  guard, 
who  will  take  command  of  the  old  sentinels,  when  the  whole  are  relieved. 

16.  If  the  sentinels  are  numerous,  the  Sergeants  are  to  be  employed, 
as  well  as  the  Corporals,  in  relieving  them. 

17.  The  relief,  with  arms  at  a  support,  in  two  ranks,  will  march  by  a 
flank,  conducted  by  the  Corporal  on  the  side  of  the  leading  front-rank 
man ;  and  the  men  will  be  numbered  alternately  in  the  front  and  rear

when  the  relief  will  halt  and  carry  arms.  The  Corporal  will  then  add, 
"  No.  1,"  or  "  No.  2,"  or  "  No.  3,"  according  to  the  number  of  the  post, 

Arms — PORT  ! 

The  two  sentinels  will,  with  arms  at  port,  then  approach  each  other,  when 
the  old  sentinel,  under  the  correction  of  the  Corporal,  will  whisper  the 
instructions  to  the  new  sentinel.  This  done,  the  two  sentinels  will 
shoulder  arms,  and  the  old  sentinel  will  pass,  in  quick  time,  to  his  place, 
in  rear  of  the  relief.  The  Corporal  will  then  command, 

1.  Support — ARMS  !     2.  Foncard.     3.  MARCH  ! 

and  the  relief  proceeds  in  the  same  manner  until  the  whole  are  relieved. 

20.  The  detachment  and  sentinels  from  the  old  guard  having  come  in, 
it  will  be  marched,  at  shouldered  arms,  along  the  front  of  the  new  guard ) 
in  quick  time,  the  new  guard  standing  at  presented  arms;  officers  saluting, 
and  the  music  of  both  guards  beating,  except  at  the  outposts. 

21.  On  arriving  at  the  regimental  or  garrison  parade,  the  commander 
of  the  old  guard  will  send  the  detachments  composing  it,  under  charge 
of  the  non-commissioned  officers,  to  their  respective  regiments.     Before 
the  men  are  dismissed,  their  pieces  will  be  drawn  or  discharged  at  a 
target.    On  rejoining  their'companions,  the  chiefs  of  squads  will  examine 
the  arms,  &c.,  of  their  men,  and  cause  the  whole  to  be  put  away  in  good 
order. 

22.  When  the  old  guard  has  marched  off  fifty  paces,  the  officer  of  the 
new  guard  will  order  his  men  to  stack  their  arms,  or  to  place  them  in  the 
arm-racks. 

23.  The  commander  of  the  guard  will  then  make  himself  acquainted 
with  all  the  instructions  for  his  post,  visit  the  sentinels,  arid  question  them 
and  the  non-commissioned  officers  relative  to  the  instructions  they  may 
have  received  from  other  persons  of  the  old  guard. 

DUTIES   OF   GUARDS   AND    SENTINELS. 

1.  Sentinels  will  be  relieved  every  two  hours,  unless  the  state  of  the 
weather,  or  other  causes,  should  make  it  -necessary  or  proper  that  it  be 
done  at  shorter  or  longer  intervals. 

2.  Each  relief,  before  mounting,  is  inspected  by  the  commander  of  the 
guard  or  of  its  j>ost.     The  Corporal  reports  to  him,  and  presents  the  old 
relief  on  its  return.

tled to  pass  during  the  night,  and  to  officers,  non-commissioned  officers, 

.and  sentinels  of  the  guard.     Interior  guards  receive  the  countersign  only 
when  ordered  by  the  commander  of  the  troops. 

4.  The  parole  is  imparted  to  such  officers  only  as  have  a  right  to  visit

day  will  repair  to  the  office  of  the  commanding  officer  and  report  for 
orders. 

6.  The  officer  of  the  day  must  see  that  the  officer  of  the  guard  is  fur- 
nished with  the  parole  and  countersign  before  retreat. 

7.  The  officer  of  the  day  visits  the  guards  during  the  day  at  such 
times  as  he  may  deem  necessary,  and  makes  his  rounds  at  night  at  least 
once  after  12  o'clock. 

8.  Upon  being  relieved,  the  officer  of  the  day  will  make  such  remarks 
in  the  report  of  the  officer  of  the  guard  as  circumstances  require,  and 
present  the  same  at  head-quarters. 

9.  Commanders  of  guards  leaving  their  posts  to  visit  their  sentinels, 
or  on  other  duty,  are  to  mention  their  intention,  and  the  probable  time 
of  their  absence,  to  the  next  in  command. 

10.  The  officers  are  to  remain  constantly  at  their  guards,  except  while 
visiting  their  sentinels,  or  necessarily  engaged  elsewhere  on  their  proper 
duty. 

11.  Neither  officers  nor  soldiers   are   to  take  off  their  clothing   or 
accoutrements  while  they  are  on  guard. 

12.  The  officer  of  the  guard  must  see  that  the  countersign  is  duly 
communicated  to  the  sentinels  a  little  before  twilight. 

13.  When  a  fire  Jbreaks  out,  or  any  alarm  is  raised  in  a  garrison,  all 
guards  are  to  be  immediately  under  arms. 

14.  Inexperienced  officers  are  put  on  guard  as  supernumeraries,  for 
the  purpose  of  instruction. 

15.  Sentinels  will  not  take  orders  or  allow  themselves  to  be  relieved, 
except  by  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer  of  their  guard  or  party, 
the   officer  of  the  day,  or  the  commanding  officer ;  in  which  case  the 
orders  will  be  immediately  notified  to  the  commander  of  the  guard  by 
the  officer  giving  them. 

16.  Sentinels  will  report  every  breach  of  orders  or  regulations  they 
are  instructed  to  enforce. 

17.  Sentinels  must  keep  themselves  on  the  alert,  observing  everything 
that  takes  place  within  sight  and  hearing  of  their  post.     They  will  carry 
their  arms  habitually  at  support,  or  on  either  shoulder,  but  will  never 
quit  them.     In  wet  weather,  if  there  be  no  sentry-box,  they  will  secure 
arms.

REGULATIONS    FOR   CAMP   ALLEN.  18 

DUTIES  OF  GUARDS  AND  SENTINELS. 

18.  No  sentinel  shall  quit  his  post  or  hold  conversation  not  necessary 
to  the  proper  discharge  of  his  duty. 

U).  All  persons,  of  whatever  rank  in  the  service,  are  required  to  observe 
respect  towards  sentinels. 

20.  In  case  of  disorder,  a  sentinel  must  call  out  the  guard;  and  if  a 
fire  take  place,  he  must  cry — "Fire!" — adding  the  number  of  his  post. 
If  in  either  case  the  danger  be  great,  he  must  discharge    his  firelock 
before  calling  out. 

21.  It  is  the  duty  of  a  sentinel  to  repeat  all  calls  made  from  posts  more 
distant  from  the  main  body  of  the  guard  than  his  own,  and  no  sentinel 
will  be  posted  so  distant  as  not  to  be  heard  by  the  guard,  either  directly 
or  through  other  sentinels. 

22.  Sentinels  will  present  arms  to  general  and  field  officers,  to  the  offi- 
cer of  the  day,  and  to  the  commanding  officer  of  the  post.     To  all  other 
officers  they  will  carrj'  arms. 

23.  "When  a  sentinel  in  his  sentry-box  sees  an  officer  approaching,  he 
-will  stand    at   attention,  and    as   the   officer   passes  will  salute  him,  by 
bringing   the   left    hand   briskly  toJthe  musket,  as   high   as  the  right 
shoulder. 

24.  The  sentinel  at  «,ny  post  of  the  guard,  when  he  sees  any  body  of 
troops,  or  an  officer  entitled  to  compliment,  approach,  must  call — "  Turn 
out  the  guard!"  and  announce  who  approaches. 

25.  Guards  do  not  turn  out  as  a  matter  of  compliment  after  sunset; 
but  sentinels  will,  when  officers  in  uniform  approach,  pay  them  proper 
attention,  by  facing  to  the  proper  front,  and  standing  steady  at  shouldered 
arms.    This  will  be  observed  until  th'e  evening  is  so  far  advanced  that  the 
sentinels  begin  challenging. 

26.  After  retreat  (or  the  hour  appointed  by  the  commanding  officer), 
until  broad  daylight,  a  sentinel  challenges  every  person  who  approaches 
him,  taking,  at  the  same  time,  the  position  of  arms  port.     He  will  suffer 
no  person  to  come  nearer  than  within  reach  of  his  bayonet,  until  the  per- 
son has  given  the  countersign. 

27.  A  sentinel,  in  challenging,  will  call  out — "  Who  comes  there?"     If 
answered — "  Friend,  with  the  countersign,"  and  he  be  instructed  to  pass  per- 
sons with  the  countersign,  he  will  reply — "Advance,  friend,  with  the 
countersign!"     If  answered — "Friends!"  he  will  reply — "  Halt  friends  ! 
Advance  one  with  the  countersign  !"     If  answered — "  Relief,"  "  Patrol,"  or 
"  Grand  rounds,"  he  will  reply — "Halt!  Advance,  Sergeant  (or  Corporal), 
with  the  countersign !"  and  satisfy  himself  that  the  party  is  what  it  repre- 
sents itself  to  be.    If  he  have  no  authority  to  pass  persons  with  the  coun- 
tersign, if  the  wrong  countersign  be  given,  or  if  the  persons  have  not 
the  countersign,  he  will  cause  them  to  stand,  and  call — "Corporal  of  the 
guard!" 


14  REGULATIONS   FOE   CAMP   ALLEN. 

DUTIES  OF  GUARDS  AND  SENTINELS. 

28.  In  the  daytime,  when  the  sentinel  before  the  guard  sees  the  officer 
of  the  day  approach,  he  will  call  "  Turn  out  the  guard !    Officer  of  the 
day!"      The  guard  will  be  paraded,  and  salute  with  presented  arms. 
When  any  person  approaches  a  post  of  the  guard  at  night,  the  sentinel 
before  the  post,  after  challenging,  causes  him  to  halt  until  examined 
by  a  non-commissioned  officer  of  the  guard.     If  it  be  the  officer  of  the 
day,  or  any  other  officer  entitled  to  inspect  the  guard  and  to  make  the 
rounds,  the  non-commissioned  officer  will  call — "  Turn  out  the  guard!" 
when  the  guard  will  be  paraded  at  shouldered  arms,  and  the  officer  of 
the  guard,  if  he  thinks  necessary,  nYay  demand  the  countersign  and  pa- 
role. 

29.  The  officer  of  the  day,  wishing  to  make  the  rounds,  will  take  an 
escort  of  a  non-commissioned  officer  and  two  men.    When  the  rounds  are 
challenged  by  a  sentinel,  the  Sergeant  will  answer — "  Grand  rounds!" 
and  the  sentinel  will  repl}T — "Halt,  Grand  rounds  !  Advance  Sergeant,  with 
the  countersign!"    Upon  which  the  Sergeant  advances  and  gives  the  coun- 
tersign.    The  sentinel  will  then  cry — "Advance,  rounds!"  and  stand  at  a 
shoulder  till  they  have  passed. 

30.  When  the  sentinel  before  the  guard  challenges,  and  is  answered — 
"  Grand  rounds"  he  will  reply — "  Halt,  grand  rounds  !      Turn  out  the  guard  ; 
grand  rounds !"     Upon  which  the  guard  will  be  drawn  up  at  shouldered 
arms.     The  officer  commanding  the  guard  will  then  order  a  Sergeant 
and  two  men  to  advance ;  when  within  ten  paces,  the  Sergeant  chal- 
lenges.    The  Sergeant  of  the  grand  rounds  answers — "  Grand  rounds !" 
The  Sergeant  of  the  guard  replies — "Advance,  Sergeant,  with  the  counter- 
sign !"     The  Sergeant  of  the  rounds  advances  alone,  gives  the  counter- 
sign, and  returns  to  his  round.     The  Sergeant  of  the  guard  calls  to  his 
officer — "  The  countersign   is  right !"  on  which  the  officer  of  the  guard 
calls — " Advance,  rounds !"     The  officer  of  the  rounds  then  advances  alone, 
the  guards  standing  at  shouldered  arms.      The  officer  of  the  rounds 
passes  along  the  front  of  the  guard  to  the  officer,  who  keeps  his  post  on 
the  right,  and  gives  him  the  parole.    He  then  examines  the  guard,  orders 
back  his  escort,  and,  taking  a  new  one,  proceeds  in  the  same  manner  to 
other  guards. 

31.  All  material  instructions  given  to  a  sentinel  on  post  by  persons 
entitled  to  make  grand  rounds,  ought  to  be  promptly  notified  to  the  com- 
mander of  the  guard. 

32.  Any  general  officer,  or  the  commander  of  a  post  or  garrison,  may 
visit  the  guards  of  his  command,  and  go  to  the  grand  rounds,  and  be 
received  in  the  same  manner  as  prescribed  for  the  officer  of  the  day. 


REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP   ALLEN.  15 


GUARDS— GRAND  GUARD  MOUNTING. 


1.  The  officer  on  guard  (outpost  or  other  guards)  will  write  down  all 
orders  which  he  receives,  whether  these  orders  come  to  him  verbally  or 
iu  writing,  and  deliver  these  orders,  in  writing,  to   the  officer   who 
relieves  him. 

2.  In  order  to  simplify  the  duties  of  the  sentries,  each  individual  man 
is  to  retain  the  same  post  during  the  whole  of  the  guard  or  picket ;  that 
is  to  say,  that  each  time  a  man  goes  on  duty  as  a  sentry,  he  must  have 
the  same  post  that  he  had  the  first  time — the  most  intelligent,  trusty, 
and  experienced  soldiers  being  chosen  for  the  most  difficult  and  impor- 
tant posts. 

3.  The  officers  will  most  particularly  examine  each  sentinel  upon  his 
post,  respecting  the  orders  that  he  has  received,  immediately  after  he  is 
placed  there  for  the  first  time ;  and  before  he  is  marched  off  to  take  the 
same  post  a  second  time,  the  officer  will  question  him  for  the  purpose  of 
ascertaining  whether  he  recollects  his  orders. 

4.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  officers  to  ascertain  if  every  individual  is 
instructed  in  what  he  has  to  do ;  and  it  is  to  them,  therefore,  tlmt  the  respon- 
sibility attaches,  if  any  accident  or  irregularity  occur  in  consequence  of  orders 
not  being  accurately  given. 

5.  Regimental  guards  will  send  out  patrols  in  their  own  camp  or 
bivouac,  after  tattoo,  to  pick  up  men  out  of  quarters.     Those  of  their 
own  regiment  will  be  confined  and  reported  to  the  regimental  comman- 
dant ;  those  of  other  Regiments  reported  to  head-quarters. 

6.  The  officer  of  the  guard  will  see  that  the  company  cooks  are  called 
in  time  in  the  morning  to  prepare  the  coffee  and  breakfast  for  the  men 
before  "Reveille." 

GRAND   GUARD    MOUNTING. 

1.  The  following  will  be  observed   in  mounting  grand  guard   until 
otherwise  ordered  or  printed  in  regulations  : 

2.  At  the  first  call  for  guard  mounting,  the  companies  or  detachments 
will  turn  out  in  their  company  streets  for  inspection  by  the  First  Ser- 
geants, who  will  see  that  ever}7  man  is  thoroughly  armed  and  equipped, 
(shelter  tent,  canteen,  haversack,  etc.,)  and  provided  with  rations  for  the 
prescribed  number  of  days.     The  details  will  then  be  taken  command  of 
by  the  respective  senior  officers  accompanying  each  detachment,  and  be 
conducted  by  them,  band  playing,  to  the  ground  selected  for  the  forma- 
tion of  the  guard. 

3.  The  Regimental  Adjutant  selected  for  the  occasion,  assisted  by  the 
Sergeant-Major  of  the  same  regiment,  will  then  direct  the  formation, 
placing  each  detatchmcnt,  as  it  arrives,  on  the  left  of  the  one  that  pre-

the  lines. 

6.  At  the  conclusion  of  the  inspection,  the  officers  will  retake  their 
places  to  the  front,  and  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  command, 

1.  Parade — BEST  !     2.   Troop — Beat  of!

9.  The  field  officer  of  the  day,  having  acknowledged  the  salute,  will 
direct  that  the  guard  be  marched  in  review  or  to  the  outpost ;  if  in  review, 
the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  will  face  about,. and  command, 

1.  ShoulJer — ARMS  !     2.  By  company,  right  wheel — MARCH  !

11.  If  the  passing  in  review  is  dispensed  with,  the  outpost  officer  will 
immediately  take  command,  and  march  the  guard  off  the  ground.     In 
case  the  camp  guard  is  mounted  at  the  same  time  as  the  grand  guard, 
they  will  be  formed  on  the  extreme  left  in  the  same  manner,  the  commis- 
sioned officers  only  coming  to  the  front ;  if  the  guard  pass  in  review, 
they  will  do  the  same,  but  not  go  by  the  flank,  passing  the  old  guard  in 
platoons. 

12.  If  the  grand  guard  does  not  pass  in  review,  the  camp  guard  will 
remain  in  line  until  they  have  left  the  ground,  when  the  camp  guard  will 
pass  the  old  guard  as  above  directed.     The  new  officer  of  the  day  and 
the  old  officer  of  the  day  will  take  post  on  the  right,  and  two  paces  to 
the  rear  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  during  the  guard  mounting,  and 
acknowledge  the  salute  of  the  camp  guard  only  in  the  review. 

13.  In  the  absence  of  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General,  a  staff  officer  of 
the  brigade  may  be  detailed  in  his  place  without  altering  the  above  for- 
mation. 

DRESS   PARADE. 

1.  The  proper  formation  of  a  dress  parade  adds  much  to  its  effective- 
ness, simplicity,  and  precision. 

2.  To  form  the  line  properly,  Captains  of  companies  will  form  their 
companies  in  their  company  streets,  viz:   The  companies  of  the  right 
wing  faced  toward  the  right  flank  of  the  camp,  the  left  or  Second  Ser- 


18  REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP  ALLEN.

geants  nearest  the  color  line,  the  First  Sergeants  nearest  the  company 
officers'  tents. 

3.  The  companies  of  the  left  wing  faced  in  the  reversed  direction. 

4.  "  The  Assembly"  should  sound  thirty  minutes  before  the  formation 
of  dress  parade,  when  the  First  Sergeant  should  cause  the  company  to 
fall  in,  in  the  position  prescribed,  call  the  roll,  and  turn  it  over  to  the 
Captain.     The  Captain  then  sees  that  the  equipments  are  all  clean  and 
neat,  clothes  buttoned  up,  boots  blacked,  and  everything  in  proper  order, 
the  company  at  parade  rest,  and  then  gives  a  short  exercise  in  the 
manual,  mark  time,  alignments,  etc. 

5.  At  the  hour  of  formation  the  drums  beat  the  first  part  of  "  the 
Troop '"  instantly  each  Captain  gives  the  command 

•    Attention— COMPANY.     Shoulder— ARMS.     Right  (or  left}  face. 

(The  companies  of  the  right  wing  face  to  the  left,  those  of  the  left  wing 
face  to  the  right.) 

6.  At  the  same  instant  the  Adjutant,  with  the  markers,  with  their 
colors,  being  formed  in  front  of  the  Colonel's  quarters,  will  march  for- 
ward on  the  line.     The  Adjutant  will  halt  on  the  color  line,  station  the 
guides  and  markers  for  the  formation  of  the  color  company,  so  that  the 
Color  Sergeant  will  be  exactly  at  the  centre  of  the  battalion,  one  marker 
where  the  right  of  the  color  company  will  rest,  the  other  where  the  left 
of  the  color  company  will  rest. 

7.  The  instant  the  Adjutant  arrives  on  the  color  line,  the  band  will 
commence  to  play.    All  the  Captains  of  companies  will  give  the  com- 
mand 

Forward  ! 

the  moment  the  drums  cease  "  the  Troop."     The  instant  the  band  com- 
mences to  play,  the  command

will  be  given  by  all  the  Captains. 

8.  They  will  then  move  their  companies  on  to  the  line,  the  color 
company  moving  a  little  in  advance. 

9.  The  right  guides  of  right  companies,  and  left  guides  of  left  com- 
panies, throw  themselves  on  the  line  the  moment  their  companies  are 
halted. 

10.  They  will  remain  in  front  of  their  companies  until  the  Adjutant 
gives  the  command 

Guides— POST  ! 

11.  The  Captain  of  the  color  company  will  align  his  company  on  its

taking  his  post  on  the  right  at  the  command 

Guides — POST  ! 

12.  The  Captains  of  the  right  wing  align  their  companies  by  the  left, 
and  change  to  their  proper  position  at  the  command 

Guides— POST  ! 

Each  Captain  will  immediately,  as  soon  as  his  company  is  aligned,  give 
the  command 

Front !     Support — ARMS  ! 

As  soon  as  the  line  is  formed,  each  Captain  will  follow.the  Regulations, 
as  prescribed  in  paragraph  339,  Army  Eegulations,  and  following. 

13.  The  companies,  while  marching  to  the  line  of  formation,  should 
never  halt  (but  mark  time)  until  halted  in  their  proper  position,  one 
pace  in  rear  of  the  line,  for  alignment.     A  good  officer  will  oftentimes 
execute  effective  and  handsome  movements  while  approaching  his  posi- 
tion in  line.     Seeing  that  he  will  have  to  be  delayed  a  moment,  he  some- 
times marches  in  rear  of  and  covering  the  company  next  to  him  on 
which  he  is  to  form,  then  comes  handsomely  by  the  right-about  back 
again  to  a  halt  just  at  the  right  moment  and  in  the  right  place.     Again, 
he  will  sometimes  march  several  paces  in  rear  of  the  line,  and  come  for- 
ward to  the  line  by  flanking  his  company,  and  come  up  to  the  line  by 
company  front.  , 

POLICE,   AND   DUTIES  IN   CAMP. 

1.  Commandants  of  regiments  will  see  that  thorough  inspections  of 
the  camp  are  daily  made ;  that  ditches  and  holes  are  not  made  the 
receptacles  of  refuse  of  any  kind,  but  that  it  is  properly  removed  and 
buried  ;  that  the  kitchens  and  utensils  for  cooking  are  kept  clean. 

2.  Commandants  of  companies  will  be  held  responsible  for  the  enforce- 
ment of  the   above,   and    the   officer  of   the   guard   responsible   that 
nuisances  are  not  committed  within  the  precincts  of  the  camp-guard, 
and  that  the  general  cleanliness  of  the  camp  is  promoted  by  both  officers 
and  men.     The  guard  will  be  particularly  cautioned  to  arrest  offenders. 

3.  Regimental  Surgeons  are  charged  with  making  frequent  inspections 
of  the  <5aJ3ip8  or  bivouacs,  and  reporting  anything  they  may  consider 
calculated  to  injure  the  health  of  the  men. 

4.  If  any  just  cause  of  complaint  exists  against  the  conduct  of  the 
troops,  and  it  should  be  impossible  to  find  out  the  offenders,  so  as  to 
bring  them  to  punishment,  some  general  punishment  will  be  laid  on  the 
regiment  by  which  the  offence  has  been  committed.     The  officers  com-

POLICE-OFFICER  OF  THE  GUARD. 

manding  regiments  will   therefore  establish  the  most  vigilant  police, 
each  in  his  own  camp  or  bivouac. 

5.  The  hours  for  service  and  duty  will  be  the  same  throughout  the 
brigade.     The  Drummers'  call  for  reveille,  morning  parade,  guard  mount- 
ing, brigade  parades,  retreat,  and  tattoo,  will  be  first  sounded  at  the 
picket  guard,  and  repeated  at  each  guard  tent  in  camp. 

Reveille. — (Men  rise,  wash,  dress,  answer  to  roll-call.     One  officer  in 
each  company  must  be  present  at  reveille  roll-call.) 
Peas  on  Trencher. — (Call  for  breakfast.) 
Troop. — (For  guard  mounting.) 
Assembly. — (Fall  in  for  drill,  or  dress  parade.)

Taps. — (Lights  all  out.) 

6.  The  officer  of  the  guard  is  charged  with  the  observance  of  the 
above.     The  calls  will  be  sounded  by  the  bugler  or  drummer  of  the 
guard  (one  should  always  be  there). 

OFFICER   OF  THE   GUARD. 

1.  The  officer  of  the  guard  will  supervise,  with  the  officer  of  the  day, 
his  guard's  appearance  in  dress,  equipments,  etc.,  see  that  they  are  prop- 
erly posted  and  instructed,  and  understand  their  duties. 

2.  He  will,  in  addition  to  duties  prescribed  in  the  Eegulations,  provide 
as  far  as  possible  and  the  meana  at  hand  allow,  for  the  comfort  of  his 
men  in  the  guard-house ;  have  it  thoroughly  policed  and  cleaned,  well 
ventilated,  and  rendered  wholesome. 

3.  Except  when  visiting  posts,  he  should  always  be  at  the  guard- 
house, having  his  meals  brought  to  him.     He  should  be  prompt  in  turn- 
ing out  his  guard,  vigilant,  and  correct  in  his  deportment  and  dress, 
thus  setting  an  example  for  his  men,  as  well  as  preserving  a  due  respect 
for  his  position. 

4.  He  will  read  to  each  relief  the  extracts  from  Army  Eegulations  con- 
cerning their  duties,  and  see  by  their  practical  illustrations  that  they 
understand  them. 

5.  He  will  send  out,  every  two  hours,  a  non-commissioned  officer  to 
make  the  round  of  sentinels,  and  examine  them  as  regards  their  know- 
edge  and  practice  of  the  instructions  imparted  previous  to  their  going 
on  guard. 

6.  He  will  impress  upon  each  man  the  necessity  of  care,  neatness,  and 
soldierly  bearing  as  sentinels,  and  realize  himself  that  nothing  is  more 


REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP  ALLEN.  21 

REGIMENTAL  OFFICER  OF  THE  DAY. 

calculated  to  show  the  drill  and  discipline  of  a  regiment  than  the  appear- 
ance and  bearing  of  a  sentinel  on  post  or  a  guard  at  their  station. 

7.  The  duties  of  regimental  officers  of  the  day  and  guard,  if  properly 
performed,  are  calculated  to  increase  the  efficiency,  drill,  and  reliability 
of  a  regiment  under  more  serious  circumstances,  as  on  picket  and  other 
duties,  and  the  battle  field,  where  the  principles  of  correct  deportment, 
vigilance,  and  soldierly  respect,  inculcated  as  sentinels  in  camp,  will  bear 
fruit  in  a*like  observance  when  its  effect  will  influence  the  fate  of  an  army 
or  a  battle. 

8.  He  should  never  leave  camp  during  his  tour  of  duty. 

9.  He  is  responsible  for  any  disorder,  noise,  or  disturbance  in   camp, 
and  for  the  proper  and  respectful  behavior  of  all  the  troops  in  camp 
during  his  tour  of  duty,  and  should  report  for  punishment  any  person 
who  violates  the  orders. 

REGIMENTAL  OFFICER   OF   THE   DAY. 

1.  The  duties  of  officer  of  the  day,  in  addition  to  those  prescribed  in 
the  Kegulations,  begin  with  the  mounting  of  the  guard.     He  should  see 
that  the  non-commissioned  officers  have  performed  their  duty  in  bringing 
their  squads  on  the  ground  clean,  and  with  arms  and  equipments  well 
fitted  and  in  good  order,  punishing  the  officer  as  well  as  the  man  for  all 
neglect  in  this  particular. 

2.  The  authority  given  empowers  him  to  enforce  rigidly  the  police  of 
the  camp  and  its  vicinity ;  to  see  that  refuse  is  buried,  streets,  tents,  and 
the  spaces  between  them  properly  swept.     He  should  be  held  responsi- 
ble for  the  cleanliness  and  general  good  order  of  the  camp  during  his 
tour. 

3.  He  should  visit  each  sentinel,  question  him  as  to  his  instructions  and 
knowledge  of  his  duties ;  see  that  he  knows  how  to  salute  properly,  halt- 
ing on  the  approach  of  an  officer ;  presenting  arms  to  a  Major  and  all 
above  that  rank ;  coming  to  a  shoulder  arms,  and  saluting  by  bringing 
the  left  hand  smartly  across  the  body,  and  striking  the  piece  at  the 
height  of  the  shoulder,  to  all  officers  below  the  rank  of  Major. 

4.  He  should  report  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  each  morning  for 
instructions,  and  also  send  a  report  to  him  as  to  the  condition  of  the 
camp,  hospitals,  sinks,  stables,  etc.,  and  the  conduct  and  vigilance  of  the 
police  and  camp  guards  during  the  day  and  night. 

5.  At  least  once  during  the  day  he  will  inspect  the  tents  and  the  en- 
tire camp  of  the  regiment,  the  kitchens,  and  'all  the  cooking  utensils, 
sinks,  wells,  parade-ground,  and  guard-houses.    He  will  make  the  rounds 
of  the  camp-guard  during  the  nighfyand  also  observe  that  all  standing 
orders  of  the  brigade,  regiment,  etc.,  are  strictly  complied  with.

22  REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP   ALLEN. 

BRIGADE  FIELD-OFFICER  OF  THE  DAY. 

6.  He  is  charged  particularly  with  police  duties.  Under  his  directions 
the  old  guard  of  the  day  previous  is  turned  out  to  police  the  camp.  He 
is  to  look  particularly  to  all  matters  under  the  head  of  Police  and  Duties 
in  Camp.  He  sees  that  the  officer  of  the  guard  properly  turns  out  the 
guard,  and  that  the  accustomed  salute  is  paid  to  all  distinguished  officers, 
and  to  officers  entitled  to  the  compliment,  and  that  the  officer  of  the 
guard  thoroughly  understands  his  duties. 

I 

BRIGADE   FIELD-OFFICER   OF   THE   DAY. 

1.  The  field-officer  of  the  day  is  generally  taken  from  the  field-officers 
of  regiments,  but  senior  Captains  may  be  detailed.     His  duties  are  simi- 
lar, but  more  comprehensive  than  those  of  the  regimental  officer  of  the 
day.     He  is  to  the  brigade  what  the  latter  is  to  his  regiment. 

2.  He  is,  in  a  measure,  a  special  aid  and  representative  of  his  General, 
to  see  that  the  orders  and  regulations  of  the  brigade  or  division  are  prop- 
erly observed.     His  term  of  office  is  commonly  twenty-four  hours,  and 
in  that  period  he  should  visit  every  part  of  the  command  at  least  once  or 
twice,  and  report  to  his  superior  whatever  he  sees  in  the  condition  or 
conduct  of  the  troops  particularly  commendatory  or  censurable,  or  in  any 
way  unusual. 

3.  In  camp  he  has  the  immediate  superintendence  of  the  camps  of  the 
brigade,  as  to  order,  cleanliness,  and  health.     He  is  the  chief  officer  of 
police,  and  it  is  his  duty,  through  the  regimental  officers  of  the  day,  to 
carry  out  the  regulations  in  regard  to  policing  the  camps. 

4.  He  will  ride  through  all  company  and  other  streets,  see  to  their 
cleanliness,  and  the  condition  of  sinks,  trenches,  etc. ;  order  all  refuse, 
offal,  and  all  other  matter  deleterious  to  health  to  be  buried. 

5.  He  should  visit  the  kitchens,  hospitals,  out-houses,  and  all  places 
occupied  or  used  by  the  men,  order  evils  or  abuses  corrected,  and  see 
that  his  orders  are  obeyed.     Having  the  power  and  authority,  he  has  not 
any  excuse  for  leaving  the  brigade  encampment,  at  the  end  of  his  tour  of 
duty,  in  any  thing  but  a  well  policed,  orderly,  and  healthy  condition. 

6.  He  should  attend  to  the  wells,  and  see  that  sufficient  pure  water  may 
be  obtained.    He  should  also  see  to  the  proper  position  of  the  sinks,  cook- 
fires,  Commissary  Department,  stables,  and  the  requisite  guards  for  the 
same. 

7.  He  should  see  that  the  hours  for  drill  and  instruction  established  at 
head-quarters  are  complied  with;  and  the  men  are  prompt  to  their  duty 
at  "  reveille,"  and  to  their  quarters  at  tattoo,  and  that  the  lights  are 
down  at  taps.    He  should  also  preserve  order  throughout  the  brigade 
camp-grounds  during  the  night. 

8.  He  should  see  that  the  camp-guards  do  their  duty,  and  are  at  their 
posts  during  the  night,  as  well  as  through  the  day,  and  should  require  a 


REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP  ALLEN.  23 

ARRANGEMENTS  AFTER  THE  MARCH. 

uniform  mode  of  mounting  guard  and  doing  camp-guard  duty  through- 
out the  command.  He  should  also  be  authorized  to  instruct  sentinels  in 
the  proper  manner  of  saluting  officers,  and  constant  observance  of  regu- 
lations in  this  respect.  Hardly  anything  tends  so  much  to  make  the  sol- 
dier feel  cheerful  as  the  consciousness  that  he  has  been  properly  instructed 
in  his  duty. 

9.  He  should  see  that  the  butchers  of  the  brigade  or  regiments  dig 
proper  trenches  for  the  reception  of  all  refuse  matter,  that  it  is  buried, 
and  the  vicinity  made  and  kept  wholesome. 

10.  He  should  report  to  the  Commanding  General.at  9  A.  M.,  [or  such 
hour  as  directed]  for  instructions,  and  promptly  turn  over  those  instruc- 
tions to  his  successor.     He  should  receive  at  9£  A.  M.,  at  his  head-quar- 
ters, each  regimental  officer  of  the  day,  and  give  to  him  definite  instruc- 
tions, and  receive  from  them,  on  the  morning  of  the  next  day.  at  8J 
o'clock,  their  respective  reports. 

ARRANGEMENTS   AFTER   THE   MARCH. 

1.  The  moment  a  regiment  arrives  at  camp  or  bivouac,  the  camp-guard 
will  be  posted,  whose  duty  it  is  to  prevent  any  person  leaving,  except 
officers  and  authorized  persons. 

2.  When  the  column  reaches  the  camp  ground,  the  infantry  comes  into 
line  on  the  color  line.     The  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards, 
pickets,  and  orderlies  are  then  announced  by  the  Brigadier-General  to 
the  Colonels  and  by  them  to  the  field  officers,  the  Adjutant  and  Captains 
formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Sergeants  taking  post  behind 
their  Captains.     The  Adjutant  then  makes  the  details,  and  the  First  Ser- 
geants warn  the  men.     The  regimental  officer  of  the  day  forms  the 
picket  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts. 

3.  The  officer  of  the  day,  under  the  commanding  officer,  is  particu- 
larly responsible  for  the  cleanliness  of  the  camp  or  quarters  of  each 
regiment ;  and  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  who  is  charged  with  the 
superintendence  of  the  police  and  the  cleanliness  of  the  camp  or  quar- 
ters of  the  brigade,  will  give  such  orders  upon  the  subject  as  may  be 
necessary  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

4.  If  the  arms  are  not  stacked  on  the  ground  of  formation,  some  con- 
spicuous mark  must  be  made  on  the  right  and  left  flank  of  the  ground 
on  which  each  regiment,  when  called  out,  is  to  form. 

PREPARING   FOR   THE    MARCH. 

1.  A  bugler  will  always  be  at  hand  at  the  head-quarters  of  each  regi- 
mental commander.  The  Assistant  Adjutant-General  will  detail  buglers 
from  the  different  regiments  to  attend  at  his  head-quarters,  from  whence 
all  calls  will  be  sounded. 


24  REGULATIONS    FOR   CAMP   ALLEN. 

PREPARING  FOR  THE  MARCH. 

2.  The  calls,  as  laid  down  in  the  Infantry  Tactics,  will  be  used  by  bu- 
gles alone.     They  will  be  instantly  repeated  by  the  bugler  at  each  regi- 
mental head-quarters.     To  prevent  confusion,  there  will  be  sounded  first 
the  call  of  the  brigade.     This  will  be  repeated  by  all  buglers  when  re- 
peating calls. 

3.  When  the  whole  of  the  troops  in  a  brigade  are  to  move,  "  the  Gen- 
eral," the  "Assembly,"  and  "  To  the  Color,"  will  be  sounded  at  the  proper 
intervals,  in  the  order  here  mentioned.     At  the  first,  the  troops  will  pre- 
pare for  the  movement;  at  the  second,  they  will  form  by  company;  and 
at  the  third,  unite  by  battalion.     If  some  of  the  regiments  only  are  to 
depart,  these  sounds  will  be  preceded,  in  each  of  the  regiments,  by  the 
particular  march  of  the  regiment.     Each  regiment  will  prepare  and  in- 
struct the  bugler  in  its  own  refrain  or  march. 

4.  The  officers'  call,  as  used  in  the  field  for  drill,  when  in  camp,  will 
call  only  Colonels,  or  their  Adjutants,  to  receive  orders. 

5.  The  "  General"     At  this  call  Sergeants  and  Corporals  will  see  that 
their  squads  dress,  equip,  pack  up,  and  prepare  for  the  march. 

6.  The  officers  will  immediately  prepare  themselves  for  the  march,  and 
then  visit  their  entire  companies,  and  see  that  the  non-commissioned 
officers  have  properly  performed  their  duties. 

7.  The  tents  0*r  bivouacs  will  be  struck  immediately  at  the  "  General." 

8.  The  baggage,  extra  rations,  and  all  matters  to  be  carried  in  the 
wagons,  must  be  packed  at  least  ten  minutes  before  the  t:  Assembly" 
sounds. 

9.  The  "  Assembly"  will  usually  sound  from  thirty  to  sixty  minutes 
after  the  "  General,"  when  the  companies  will  assemble  on  the  company 
parade  grounds,   and   be   inspected   thoroughly   by   the   officers.     The 
column  will  be  divided  into  platoons  and  sections. 

10.  The  wagons  will  assemble  at  the  left  of  the  line   of  tents  or 
bivouacs,  under  charge  of  the  Quarter-Master.     The  Eegimental  Quar- 
ter-Master will  then  report  to  the  Brigade  Quarter-Master  that  his  train 
is  ready,  and  ask  for  instructions. 

11.  The  Third  Sergeants  of  companies  will  see  to  the  packing  of  the 
baggage,  and  assist  the  Quarter-Master  in  the  preparations  at  the  sound- 
ing of  the  "  General." 

12.  "  To  the  Color"  will  sound  after  the  "  Assembly,"  at  such  time  as 
the  General  may  direct,  when  the  regiment  will  form  on  its  color-line  or 
in  column,  without  ceremony,  and  march  to  the  place  designated  for  the 
brigade,  in  quick  time,  band  playing,  unless  otherwise  ordered. 

13.  Regimental  Quarter-Masters  will  have  the  general  direction  of 
affairs  pertaining  to  the  regimental  train,  where  regiments  move  sepa- 
rately.    Where  they  move  together,  the  Brigade  Quarter-Master  will 
direct. 


REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP   ALLEN.  25 

ON  THE  MARCH— OFFICERS  AT  STATIONS. 

14.  If  the  baggage  of  "any  regiment  fails  to  be  at  the  rendezvous  at 
the  proper  time,  the  Brigade  Quarter-Master  will  report  the  fact  in  writ-, 
ing,  with  particulars,  to  the  General,  and  the  baggage  of  such  regiment 
will  be  placed  last  in  the  train,  and  sent  to  them  last,  after  the  march  ; 
if  other  teams  or  wagons  break  down  or  give  out  during  the  march,  the 
teams  or  wagons  of  such  regiment  will  be  used  to  replace  them. 

15.  Guards,  details  at  wells,  springs,  etc.,  will  join  their  companies  at 
the  sound  of  the  "  General." 

16.  Outpost  guards  will  receive  orders  for  the  dispositions  as  regards 
them,  and  the  time  they  will  leave  their  posts.     In  case  of  failure  to 
receive  any  orders,  they  will,  after  the  brigade  has  marched,  join  the 
rear  guard. 

ON    THE    MARCH OFFICERS  AT    STATIONS — MARCHING    OFF — SILENCE — ROUTE 

STEP — HALTING   AND   CLOSING   UP — FORMATION    AFTER   THE    MARCH. 

1.  All  officers  remain  constantly  at  their  posts  during  the  march. 

2.  Captains  at  the  head  of  their  companies;  Lieutenants  in  the  rear, 
except  at  "  route  step,"  when  the  Captains  may  march  at  the  rear  of 
their  companies. 

3.  Commanding  officers  of  regiments,  assisted  by  their  Adjutants,  will 
move  from  one  part  to  another,  as  their  presence  may  be  required,  for 
the  preservation  of  order,  and  the  prevention  of  straggling,  and  chang- 
ing the  position  from  platoon  or  company  to  flank,  or  vice  versa. 

4.  In  like  manner,  the  Lieutenant-Colonel,  Major,  or  Captain,  will  quit 
their  habitual  stations  when  their  presence  is  required  in  any  other  part 
of  their  wings  or  companies,  but  will  return  to  them  as  soon  as  the  pur- 
pose for  which  they  quitted  them  shall  be  effected. 

5.  On  all  occasions  of  marching  out  of  camp  or  bivouac  to  picket  or 
other  duty,  or  of  moving  after  a  halt,  the  regiment  must  always  move 
off  together  by  word  of  command. 

6.  The  men  must  be  perfectly  silent,  dress  and  keep  the  step,  covering 
in  file  as  on  drill,  until  the  word  "  route  step"  is  given  by  the  command- 
ing officer. 

7.  All  commands  given  to  men  marching  at  "  route  step"  must  be  pre- 
ceded by  bugal  signal  or  command  ':l  Attention."     At  this,  the  men  will 
bring  their  pieces  immediately  to  shoulder  arms,  close  up  and  form  regu- 
larly, keeping  perfect  silence  until  the  command  "route  step"  is  again 
given. 

(In  less  than  a  brigade,  bugle  sound  will  not  be  needed.) 

8.  All  commands  or  bugle   signals  must  bo  repeated  promptly  to  the 
rear  by  commandants  of  regiments,  wings,  companies,  or  by  their  buglers. 
The  Major  will  repeat  the  command  (if  from  the  head  of  the  column,) 
to  the  commandant  of  the  regiment  in  his  rear. 


26  REGULATIONS   FOR   CAMP  ALLEN. 

FORMATION  AFTER  THE  MARCH. 

9.  When  marching  at  "  route  step,"  the  ranks  may  be  opened  and  the 
files  loosened.     Each  rank,  section,  platoon,  or  company  will  hold  itself 

'in  condition  to  march  easily,  without  crowding,  at  the  same  time  pre- 
serving its  individuality,  and  ready  to  form  solidly  in  an  instant.  "  Eoute 
Step  "  does  not  mean  any  permission  for  straggling. 

10.  When  at  the  end  of  a  march  it  happens  that  a  line  is  to  be  taken 
up  by  a  successive  formation,  or  a  column  formed,  each  company  may 
shoulder  arms  as  soon  as  formed  by  command  from  its  own  officer,  but 
the  companies  must  not  "  order  arms  "  or  stand  at  a  rest  until  directed 
to  do  so  by  the  commanding  officer  of  the  regiment  when  the  whole  is 
formed. 

11.  When  any  officer  desires  to  pass  any  notice  to  the  commanding 
officer  of  the  regiment,  or  to  any  other  company,  or  to  direct  the  men 
to  keep  to  the  right  or  left,  to  permit  mounted  officers  to  pass  along  the 
column  or  road,  the  word  must  be  passed  by  the  officers  or  First  Ser- 
geants only.     The  men  must  not  repeat  calls,  orders,  or  commands,  un- 
less directed. 

12.  Whenever  the  bugles  sound  the  "  Halt "  from  the  head  of  the 
column,  the  call  will  be  repeated  by  the  bugles  along  the  line,  and  each 
regiment  will  halt  wherever  it  may  be,  closing  up  only  to  its  own  head, 
and  not  closing  up  the  interval  that  may  have  been  lost  between  it  and 
the  preceding  regiment. 

13.  When  it  is  intended  that  the  whole  column  should  close  up  and 
halt,  the  head  of  the  column  will  be  halted  silently,  without  bugle  call 
or  signal.     The  word  will  be  passed  to  the  rear  to  close  up  and  halt ;  and 
when  the  last  regiment  of  the  brigade  has  closed  up  and  halted,  its 
bugler  will  sound  the  halt  as  an  indication  to  the  head  of  the  column 
that  the  last  regiment  has  closed  up  to  its  proper  interval.
